JFT Thursday
- Up by 8:00
- Weigh
- Meetings / Work stuff
- Spin at 6:00
- Log food
- No alcohol
- Stay green
- Bed by 11:30
Love y'all! Take care.
Wow, today got bad fast at work. Sigh...
Anyway, yesterday was pretty good goal wise. I was super glad it was a work from home day where I could stay in my jammies until afternoon. I did teach spin, but honestly it wasn't my best effort, I burned about 120 calories less than I usually do in an hour session. Still worked up a sweat and moved so that is good. Weight is steadily but slowly moving again, for which I'm thankful. When I exercise, I tend to eat better. When I weigh-in daily I am definitely more conscious of what I'm consuming. It's good until I get obsessive, then I need to step back a bit. This is where I tend to falter. If x amount of exercise and y amount of food = weight loss, then more exercise and less food will = more weight loss. Though this is technically true, it isn't sustainable or necessarily healthy. Take tonight for instance, I'd like to go out to dinner with hubby since our daughter will be out of town, but I'm anxious about eating out because it will cause at minimum a bump on the scale. I know it won't even be real weight gain, but I can let it mess with my mind. I think a good plan for me is to log food, try to stay within maintenance, and not weigh for a few days until the sodium and bloat go away. Hopefully that will keep me from getting discouraged. Of course sometimes this back fires and I go off the rails because I'm not holding myself accountable. Sigh...
Taking a rest day from the bike today as I'm doing a long trainer ride with a friend bright and early tomorrow. She has 3 hours planned, I think I'll try for 1.5 - 2 hours depending on how uncomfortable my road bike is with my big ole belly.

Hi everyone. My goal JFT is to stay within my calorie goal. I am really struggling. I am 55 and have stage 4 osteo arthritis in both knees. I struggle just to get around my own home. Thankfully I am able to work from home and I live in a ranch with no stairs. I am currently 345 lbs and that is just crushing my knees. Before the pandemic I had lost a lot of weight and got down to 302 lbs. I wanted out of the 300's so bad. Then we were sent to work from home. I don't know what happened or how I lost such control. At the time I was doing WW. I got tired of paying for a program I wasn't using so I just quit. I thought I would try calorie counting instead. I can't tell you if it works because I have not been consistent enough to know. My fault. I am so overwhelmed with how much I have to lose. Also depressed. My husband and I have a big trip planned for Oct of 2023 to Yellowstone. I would love to be able to at least get out of the car. I joined our local pool a couple of weeks ago and I go twice a week. That's a start but weight loss starts in the kitchen. Thank you for reading my rant LOL. Today I will stay within my calorie goal.5

Welcome!
I can understand wanting to quit WW when your paying but not using it, although maybe you could take stuff you've learned from it and still use them. I've personally not used WW so not sure.
I also get the overwhelming feeling when it just feels like too much to lose.
Could you break down your weightloss into smaller goals?
So you say your 345 now. Could your first goal be reaching 300lb?
That in itself is a massive achievement.
Then set your next goal as if you're starting anew!
You can do this, you have your "why" and you also have an event to work towards (Yellowstone) which is a great motivator.
Be realistic about your goals. For example You probably won't be goal weight by the time you go Yellowstone. And it may take a couple of years to reach that goal weight. (I'm not saying you're expecting that just examples)
I know that makes it seem very daunting because it sounds like a long time. But breaking it down into smaller achievements will help you get there.
Don't worry about the overall goal. Just worry about which way the scale is going!
And when I'm feeling particularly low or overwhelmed. Pop onto the success stories page.
If other people can do it. Then so can you. And sometimes seeing that, is really good motivation too..it IS possible.
And don't worry about the rants. We all have a good rant on here!
It's good to get it off your chest! 5 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm, but can have my metamusal after my hike.1

I'm visiting the osteopath today, so will take it easy this afternoon.
So yesterday started well but then went downhill. I ended up doing some executors tasks in the evening with a drink and crisps. Today doesn't look much better, I have quite a lot of executor's stuff to do and I'm not getting much peace to do it with a hyper child around.
JFT Saturday
I will be patient
I will not have takeaway food
